I just got back from the Doc. Long story short I have a small (Sonometer in size?) area of my upper knee joint (femur) that has damaged cartilage. He mentioned three options (but pushed for surgery): 1 - Do nothing, 2 Microfracture surgery, 3 OATS surgery.
100% full recovery is approximately 3 months. No adverse effects were mentioned.
Backstory - they(doctors) are discovering this chronic injury to be pretty common among form ACL injury patients.
My question: Does anyone else have this injury? Did you go under the knife or just elect to do nothing? Any regrets either way?
